A poem a day in April from Rutgers English PhD students and friends.

Cause

maybe it was
the Cat Stevens
maybe the Stein
maybe it was
the accusation
of misery (only
that can make
me miserable)
then searching
around for it
as gum under
tabletop
tablebottom
bottomed out
Bottom with
head of ass
how many acts
to a life & can
the curtain
get stuck
its sashaying
skirts blurt
nothinglasts
foreverness
snore & encore
'morning is bro-
ken' comes on
they switch
the track fast
none of that
cornsyrupiness
(relief 'cause
it might've
made me cry)
